Our proposed scheme consists of a new highly reflective glass façade
for the Pushkinsky Theater. The façade
would be reconstructed as the main focus of a remodel scope that would include
restoration of the cinema by removing the various non-original decor elements
and refurbishing the existing building envelope. This facade would interface with the existing building in a
conventional way (straight lines at the flashing joints) but would then distort
out of plane in the Z-axis (a maximum depth of two meters). The design is such that metal struts
and structural framework would visible in the lobby leaving the exterior facade
as clean as possible. The form of our scheme alludes to the crystalline form of
the prism. If the juxtaposition
and collating of an individual is the meaning of cinema, as defined by the
Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, then the prism with its analogous ability
to both reflect and refract is a compelling form to reference as part of the cinema’s
architecture. The organizational
system of the fractal as part of this crystalline form is loosely implied as a
geometric principle in our design.
This fractal geometry along with the reflectivity of the surface hints
at the complexity of scale, spatial relationships and paradoxes in our design analysis.
